This Is What Amazon's Smartphone Will Look Like

The phone will make use of a data plan called "Prime Data," and
while the details on it are far from totally known, it's expected
to piggyback on AT&T's "Sponsored Data" program. Sponsored
Data allows companies to subsidize your data use, paying for the
data you consume inside certain apps and services — the data used
inside of certain apps effectively doesn't count against your
data plan. This might mean that Amazon could offer unlimited data
for music and video streaming, but this is still speculative.

BGR describes the phone as "a bit large [but]
reasonably comfortable to use with one hand." It will
feature a 4.7-inch 720p display, a quad-core processor, 2 GB of
RAM, and Amazon's own flavor of the Android operating system,
which will be instantly familiar to anyone who's used a Kindle
Fire table.

It'll also have a bunch of front-facing cameras that will help
produce a 3D effect on the screen.

The phone is expected to be formally unveiled sometime in the
third quarter of this year.
